Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore. Upon observation, it was accompanied by mild coughing, and he was a little feverish and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. At the same time, some children may also have a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. It is clearly noticeable that the child's tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. Moreover, this disease may also lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to treatment as soon as possible.
